CAILLER, Switzerland's Premium Chocolate Brand, Returns To The U.S. For Only The Second Time In Its Nearly 200-year History

VEVEY, Switzerland, Nov. 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- CAILLER, home of Swiss chocolate since 1819, is now available online and at an exclusive New York retail pop-up location just in time for the gifting season and holiday celebrations.  With Amazon as its primary retailer, Nestlé will again sell CAILLER chocolate in the U.S., bringing its super-premium chocolate from the lush foothills of the Swiss Alps to American doorsteps nationwide. 

To mark the occasion and further add beauty to New York's holiday decor scene, CAILLER has tapped renowned creative window artist and ambassador-at-large, Simon Doonan.  The window will pay homage to the season's most delicious treat, New York high-fashion and CAILLER rich historical Swiss heritage.

"Simon's reputation of visual storytelling is akin to our belief that CAILLER premium Swiss chocolate products are works of art inside and out," said Paul Hodges, Head of CAILLER International.  "Not only are you tasting the rich heritage and generations of recipes and techniques in each bite, but every box has a papercut design incorporated into it that reveals a different part of the CAILLER story.  We're thrilled to bring the rich heritage of CAILLER Switzerland to the traditions of the New York holiday season."

The New York City retail experience will take residence at 408 W. 14th Street (between 9th and 10th Avenues) in Manhattan, and will be open to the public from November 19 to 26 (excluding Thanksgiving holiday; see specific times below).

"For me the inspiration was easy.  It's all about Alpine chic," said Simon Doonan.  "Working with such an iconic Swiss brand like CAILLER has been a thrill.  Their authentic craft and the injection of art and design found in each box of chocolate is naturally inspiring.  The CAILLER window will highlight these unique elements for all of New York to see."
